My children and I have many animals. We thought you would like to hear about them, since I get many of my story ideas from their antics. |

We have 2 horses, Bogey and Bob. Bogey is a dressage horse and he loves to show off. He is
very smart and very calm, and he loves to go to shows.
Bob is a Clydesdale cross from Canada. He used to haul logs out of the woods and worked
very hard. When he first came to live with us, he was very thin, and he didn't know what
treats were, like apples and carrots. He also didn't trust anyone. But things are different
for him now, he is healthy and he loves treats. He also knows that we love him and he is now a
very happy, wonderful horse. He pulls a cart and a sleigh instead of big logs now. He is
very sweet and well-behaved and is best buddies with Bogey, although Bogey is the boss!
Winston, our mini-donkey, is an escape artist. He likes to get loose and run laps around our
neighbor's houses! Sometimes he looks in their windows! Then he quickly runs home and gets
back in the paddock before we even know he was gone.
Bert and Olive are my birds. Bert is a Lutino Indian Ringneck. He has been talking since he
was only 3 months old. His favorite things to say are "How ya' doin'?" and "Wanna Cookie?"
and "Pretty Bert!" but he also likes to imitate the cats meowing and Mabel barking. He sounds
just like them, too! Olive is a Pacific Parrotlet and she loves to sit and swing in her swing
all day long. She doesn't talk but she likes to sit on my computer monitor and blink her
cute little eyes while I am writing my stories. Bert has started to go to the schools with
Mabel and me. He is very funny!
